Well for those of you that dont know I blew my read diff at Ribbo! Now the bit where the diff/axle meets the pasanger side wheel, well theres fluid coming out of there as well, running down the inside of the hub/wheel.
Someone said to me I needed a diff and an axle? Is this right or does the diff have everyting I need on it already?
Is there anythign else I need to order like seals and that type of thing!

dunno how much time & money you have but I would get a complete second hand axle and fit it, then build up your spare one at a later date.

YEa thats the plan, get one from a breakers! Am just checking that there nothign elso I need to do the job! Dont wanna order a diff and all I get is the round diff lump with none of the metal shafts that go to the wheels.
I been bitten so many times ordering the wrong part, I just want to be sure this time
Anyone know if the diff comes with the metal shafts that go to the wheels?
Or do I have to ask for somthign different as well as the diff?
Whats the differance between the diff and the axle.
And yes when it comes to cars I realy am this dumb :lol:

Owen don't panic mate your not alone

THe diffs the roundy thing in the middle of the axle

Owen,the diff is the centre part inside the "round bit" in the axle which is the complete thing that goes from side to side.In side the axle and connecting the diff to drive the wheels,are the shafts,so you probably best to get a complete second hand axle with everything on as its esier to change

Right Gotcha! SO i will ask for the compleate thing, cool!
Now as I understand it I have to have the diff/axle for the same model of ZJ 2.5 TD Laredo, as the pertol ones wont fit right? :?

just needs to be a diesel, they have the limited slip diff, dont think the petrols did, also the ratio may be different in the petrol.
Just get the lowest milage diesel axle you can, and make sure it have the brake calipers on as it make swapping over much faster

Right gonna start phoning about and find one!
By the way Tank, we missed you at the weekend!

You need a Dana 35 ZG Grand Cherokee diesel axle, one from an XJ won't fit, and a petrol ZG will be the wrong ratio. Make sure you ask for the halfshafts if you think you need them as well 'cos they quite often come without as they're £300+ each from a dealer.
Don't worry about the brake calipers as they.re only fitted with 2 bolts and if you undo your existing ones and hang them out of the way while you swap axles, you won't have to disturb the hydraulics.

£90 and £450 for the axl assembly

chrisjones · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2005, 02:28:10 PM »

Just a thought, how much for the bits to rebuild the diff, cos there's a guy breakin' a 4L grand on e-bay.

Just a thought. You'd have to fit y'a rebuilt diff to get the gearing right, but the rest of the axle should be OK.

Correct me if I'm wrong. :wink:

....eeeekk...... where is the breakers??? Might be a travelling Birty who could pick it up and drop it off on their travels.....you never know and would save a few bob!!!

Mike Pavelin · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2005, 02:40:44 PM »

It'll probably pay to do an autopsy on the old one first and see what bits you need.

Autopsy on the old one? To be honest I wouldnt know what I was looking for mate!

Not trying to be offensive, but will probably manage it...

But you really should buy a landy... you're giving jeeps a bad name with all the bits you keep breaking

On a more serious note... at least you can pick up bits for a Landy anywhere.... (Just go to a pay and play and you can probably pick up half the drive train

)

Or get an old CJ or similar.....

Ohh I need some advice fellas! Been on to lighthouse Jeep and heres are the parts to do with the diff and prices! And I asked for Dana 35 parts as advised by Mike. :

What do I needd?

Open Diff £268. (what ever that is?)
LSD 3 way diff £319 (still no idea)
Halfshafts £165 each (I know what they are

)
Ring and pinion £295 (not a clue what thst is)
C clip (still no idea)
Somthing seals £240 (cant read my own writing)
Wheel somthing £10 (not a clue what thst is)

So whats an open diff and will it fit, and do you recon that these are just the gubbings inside the diff, or the whole round thing as well?

Oh did I hear the clancking of a Gauntlet hitting the ground?? :smt019
To be honest mate I dinno what pissed me off more! My truck throwing its diff, or not being able to engage in muddy combat with ya! :lol:

chrisjones · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2005, 05:03:30 PM »

An LSD is a limited slip diff. You'll need one of them!!!!

Ring and pinion is what the teeth came off on yours, so you'll need some of them too!!

An open diff is a none LSD. don't need one aof them. You'll need c clips. They hold the drive shafts in.

And new rear axle seals. Your drive shafts may be OK- if ya' lucky!! :shock:
